    I've installed Objectdock and while customizing it, somehow the separators (the little dividers between sections of icons) disappeared, leaving just a blank space or a transparent separator. How do you get the separator back so that it shows?

    Try adding a new seperator:

    Right click on dock>add>add new seperator(second from the top)

    To move the seperator make sure that "lock dragging" is unclicked

    I discovered that the problem is a bug. I am using a quad monitor setup and changed my main monitor to a different one. When I did so, the lines that represent the seperators somehow get stuck on the other screen. I will just use the dock on my default main monitor rather than switching primary screens for now. This problem was bugging me for a while, literally! But at least I figured out why. Thanks for your help though!

    Rocket dock for a couple reasons, Object dock often slows down a system in general (gaming performance only even when not running some trace of malware hidden is the current theory) and furthurmore Rocket dock WILL NOT freeze when the rest of your computer is frozen.

    In some tests i ran before Objectdock had better performance and stability than Rocketdock. Though, if OD doesn't work out for you, using RD is just fine. The difference was marginal. If you're on a multi-user system though, RD will load it up for everyone so if you're the only one that uses a dock on a multi-user system then don't use RD.

    thanks for answers folks, i'll try them both and determine which one is more suitable for me.
